Sorry for the threadomancy, but I found this on Wikipedia, in the entry on Leonidas:
Quote:On a sidenote two of the Spartans who were present at Thermopylae survived the conflict on the third day. One who suffered an eye injury was sent behind the lines and was taken back to Sparta with the retreating allies. He later killed himself for being considered a coward by his people. The other was killed charging the persians at Plataea 479B.C
"There are some who call me... Tim..."
Sic vis pacem, para bellum
Exitus acta probat
Nemo saltat sobrius
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
Fortes Fortuna Aduvat
"The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one! Good odds for any Greek!"
